Can you help me with obtaining an official Handicap and thus being eligible for Division 1 prizes?

   

Yes! Members of the Golfer Social Club are eligible for official Handicaps, and while you’ll need to qualify via three games played individually (i.e. not Ambrose) we’re looking to run regular meetups to make this a little easier.


How do you play 2 Ball Ambrose?

   

Groups of two players (2 man ambrose) work as a team. Each player hits off the tee, the best shot is selected and the other player picks up their ball and places it, within one handspan, alongside the best ball. Each person then hits a second shot from the same spot and continues the process until you hole out.
